"Super-DMCA" Outlaws Ph.D. Thesis
zenquest writes "SecurityFocus reports in this article that a recently-enacted Michigan law makes the graduate work of Niels Provos illegal. (His honeyd project was discussed here a few months back.) According to the article, "Among other things, residents of the Great Lakes State can no longer knowingly "assemble, develop, manufacture, possess, deliver, offer to deliver, or advertise" any device or software that conceals "the existence or place of origin or destination of any telecommunications service." It's also a crime to provide written instructions on creating such a device or program. Violators face up to four years in prison." Provos has had to move his website and research papers to a server in the Netherlands. Similar bills are under consideration in seven states, and have become law in six others. The EFF has more information about the individual states. So, does this mean that Caller-ID block now illegal, as well?"
Yeah, we've gone to hell in a handbasket to quote my grandmother. I was thinking that Canada looks nice although it's only a matter of time before our fearless leader decides they need to be brought into line.
And I'll tell you right now that jackass probably wont respond because he knows deep down inside he knows he's wrong.
The blind faith of GWB's supporters sickens me. Maybe they should turn off their AM radio and form a thought of their own.
